Quixotic (78%) and Low Infatuation

"If music be the food of love, play on."

Your romance quotient is 78% and you have a low propensity for infatuation. While you're not always tilting at windmills, you tend to idealize potential partners, and wind up letting far too many get beyond the first-date stage. Because you are very well-grounded, however, you are an ideal partner for someone who enjoys the best of what relationships have to offer.

Adventurer

59% Explored!

You may have grown up as a military brat or been the kind of person who saw the road less traveled and took it. There are only a few small corners of the U.S. which you haven't seen (probably because you just haven't gotten to it yet).

About Me

My translation of Israeli poet Rachel Eshed's book Little Promises is
published in a bilingual edition by Mayapple Press. In its Hebrew
original, this collection of intense erotic poetry won the 1992 AKUM
prize in Israel. My translation of one of the poems in Little Promises
was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Novelist Tsipi Keller says , "It is
hard to speak of Rachel Eshed's poetry without mentioning 'fire': her
poems virtually burn on the page, and David Cooper's renditions not
only do justice to the the original but magnify its richness."

JFK: Lines of Fire (PulpBits, 2003) on my website.

Between 2007 and 2009 I compiled an archive of oral histories of
Jewish-American marriages. These oral histories have been taken by my
co-author Beth Rosenberg and me,
and I hope someday a selection of
them will be published in a form yet to be determined as I Am My Beloved's,a collection of interviews and photographs of
Jewish-American couples that will explore the intersection of each couple's
identities as a couple and as Jews and will reflect the diversity of the
Jewish-American community.
